Ever wanted to pull off a high-stakes heist with your friends in a fantasy world while looking chic AF in the process? You’ll want to keep an eye onHood: Outlaws & Legends, the new title from Sumo Newcastle and Focus Home Interactive set to debut this spring. Described as “a multiplayer PvPvE heist game,“Hoodwill allow players to put together a team of outlaws in order to loot treasure “from an oppressive government in a dark and violent, medieval world.”
They had me at “stealing from an oppressive government.” It’ll be interesting to see how the heist mechanic changes up the familiar team-based combat in similar seasonal online games. However, it remains to be seen whether or notHoodhas the legs to go (and grow) through its planned first three seasons. Could this be 2021’s new hype title? Or will it be an interesting premise that fails to catch fire with gamers? Stay tuned to find out!
Here’s the official synopsis forHood: Outlaws & Legends:
In a violent, medieval world, outplay rival gangs in intense PvPvE multiplayer heists. Moving in stealth to steal treasures unseen or dominating through loud and brutal combat, only the best will escape with hard-earned riches.
